The U.S. House of Representatives has recently passed an amendment as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025.
The amendment H.R. 8070 will automatically register all draft-age male U.S. residents with the Selective Service System for a possible military draft, based on information from other Federal databases.
This new system of automatic draft registration would replace the existing system, in place since 1980, in which young men have the freedom to decide whether or not to sign up for the draft.
According to People’s World, the automatic draft registration proposal was initiated by the Selective Service System (SSS) as part of its annual budget request to Congress.

What if the males all decide they no longer identify as males for the purpose of the draft?

We all know what our "representatives" are doing.
The parents of our children will fight here /you before you send our children
to fight elsewhere. Pass what you want, it means nothing.

I've got socks older than that. I assume on the first day the Sargent will explain what his preferred pronouns are.

"every other male person residing in the United States, between the ages of eighteen and twenty-six, shall be automatically registered under this Act..."
Is this their plan for the millions of military-aged newcomers???

I think I would have been tempted to vote against this, too! Clearly, their recruitment problems have become more pressing.....

Why just males? No females? Why not all citizens?

Signing up for the draft was not voluntary.
When I hit 18, my card said if I don't sign and return I was subject to a $250k fine and a few years in prison. That's not voluntary.

"Residents" - not citizens.
Women should have to sign up as well. If Israel can do it, so can the United States.

This registers somewhere between hooey and BS. Every child born in the US--or a protectorate (do we still have those?) gets a Social Security Number and a footprint! If you have ever had a baby, or been one, you know this. All except Obama. He is exempt.

Great. Now it won't matter if you as an individual oppose wars in foreign lands that whether we win or don't win, have no effect on daily life in America at all.
The continental United States cannot be invaded by a Normandy style landing on our coast. Any draft therefore is explicitly for waging war on a foreign land.

Good luck with that. As Pete Hegseth so eloquently informs us in his new book "The War on Warriors" our military has been successfully DEIed, CRTed and de-nutted to the point where they wouldn't make up a good Boy Scout troupe, if it's still okay to say "Boy Scout." Austin and Milley are pathetic fools disguised as soldiers and Obama/Biden got exactly what they wanted, the destruction of our national defense.

No biological females? What about 'equal protection under the law'? Where's the gender equity in this? Will trans males be included? If not, then the govt. is saying they are NOT men. Will Naomi, FInnegan and Maisie have to sign up? I suppose Navy Joan has a few years before she'll have to put out to sea.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Democrat Senate amended it to allow draftees to choose which side they'll fight on.

If they started drafting today's kids I wonder how many would actually show up.
Todays youth does not have the feeling of my youth.
They do not feel that they owe their country anything for the Freedoms they have.
Their parents gave them everything they wanted and didn't even require that they cut the grass at home.
They don't know how to work, and they don't want to learn

#5, great catch. A leaflet drop on the Mexican side explaining that as soon as they cross the border a satellite will identify and automatically register them for the draft. This could be the most effective border control method ever!

No one should be forced to perform military service, mandated to get the "vaccines", or listen to DEI lectures. No. Military service should be exclusively voluntary, and the service should operate in a way that people want to join. I notice the picture displayed here had all blacks at the front, and a white guy 10 feet in the rear, which accurately displays the place any white male has in today's military. No person should be forced into an institution where they do not agree with LBGT ideology, or have contrary or conscientious disagreements with a military they do not respect leadership they do not respect.

Here it comes...the government wants to be able to access the males to insure a martial law they expect to install after President Trump wins...they are expecting riots in the blue cities and this way they can postpone the election results and keep control with martial law....

Just get an American flag temporary tattoo and they will deem you unfit for service. Double down with a ohito if your stay-at-home wife.

There's always a scheme cooking with anything Leftists do. How much you want to bet that they have a scheme whereby FJB and The Commucrats and the RINOs confer 'temporary' citizenship on ALL of those blessed little MILITARY AGE 'Newcomers' so as to make them eligible to join our armed forces, thereby granting them permanent citizenship with all of the perks thereto.....Their ultimate plan would be to use these non-American, barbarian trash to control US with arms that WE pay for! I have a really bad feeling about this whole situation.

It should stipulate that every biological human of the proper age should have to register.

I was drafted into the Army in June 1967. I was sent to Viet Nam so all the politicians and Elites could get rich while WE DIED!!!!! NOTHING HAS CHANGED! I can guarantee everyone the Draft IS INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE...called SLAVERY! The Draft has NOTHING to do with Patriotic Duty, PERIOD!

If they register our boys at 18, will they vaccinate them for Covid mRNA? It gives deadly myocarditis in young men as we all know. Our fully vaccinated DEI Green Army will just continue losing wars.

So this is weird.... If I read this correctly male citizens and male residents in the US are subject to the draft, BUT LEGAL aliens working are not. I guess if you are from India and working with a green card this exception applies to you. But if you are from India but you are ILLEGAL you are subject to serve in the US Military.
Vietnam showed how a draft with a war not supported at home destroys the fabric of society
This is NOT good. Our country historically DOES NOT draft.
We DO NOT Draft unless the country is threatened.
The Civil War, WWI,WWII. then the Cold War.maintained a draft.
. There was NO draft to the military for the Revolution, the Mexican War, the Calvary out West. the Spanish American War. NONE.

Something is rotten in Denmark. This stinks. Why now? Is Biden et al planning a World War III and needs new recruits?

The draft will straighten out the welfare thugs plaguing our nation. It never should have been stopped.

Registration simply puts your name in the system. It has no effect on any claim of exemption from the draft (which hasn't existed since January 1973). Congress alone has the power to enact a draft.
The main effect of this bill is to save millions of dollars per year that the government spends to educate our young citizens of their obligation to stand up and be considered for military service should the country need their participation in the nation's defense.

First, we have too many people who have absolutely no skin in the game. We've failed to raise generations who have any idea of history or what principals we were founded on. Second, instead of worrying that a draft would be used to fight some foreign war like happened in the 50's and 60's and 70's, we might take a closer look at who is now living amongst us, and contemplate how we would fight an urban war within our own country. People need to be afraid out of their minds what that is going to look like. Third, once people realize that it's going to be up to them to protect our country, and protect their children and families from what could be the enemy combatants who are already here, they ought to be begging for the initial training, their own personal weapons, and the periodic proficiency training to remain effective. Right now our military, and our citizens at home do not strike fear in our enemies, and are free to attack at will. Civilian military training is long overdue.
